Russian Response: Atomic Energy Officials Meet, Discuss Security Senior Russian Atomic Energy Ministry officials met Monday to discuss the security of Russian nuclear sites and facilities, according to Atomic Energy Minister Alexander Rumyantsev (see GSN, Oct. 30). The meeting focused on the transportation of nuclear fuel to power plants both in Russia and abroad, according to ITAR-Tass. The officials also discussed security measures at foreign nuclear power plants being built by Russian personnel, Rumyantsev said. One such project is the Bushehr plant in Iran (see GSN, Oct. 22). While Rumyantsev praised the ministry’s efforts to maintain security at Russian nuclear sites, he added that the recent Chechen takeover of a Moscow theater has prompted new security requirements. The ministry’s security improvement effort “continues at all times and is well funded,” Rumyantsev said. But “the latest developments in Moscow have forced the Russian nuclear industry to bring in considerably stricter requirements for the protection of Russia’s nuclear facilities” (German Solomatin, ITAR-Tass, Oct. 30 in FBIS-SOV, Oct. 30).
